Mom 2.020 at the Intercontinental Los Angeles Downtown

The Mom 2.0 team is at the Intercontinental Los Angeles Downtown this week, the home of our Mom 2.020 Summit event. We’ve been here for a few days now, and one thing is for sure: we can’t wait to share this beautiful hotel with you.

Planning Mom 2.020 is a hands-on, all-hands experience. We start planning for next year just as soon as the year’s event ends. Each summer, our team visits the upcoming location. We measure spaces, meet the staff, and we talk and plan.

Also? We eat, because we need to tell you what’s good, right? And we check out the amenities, like the pool and the gym. For you, for research.

5 Things About the Intercontinental Los Angeles Downtown

Views for Days

Intercontinental Hotel occupies floors 31-73 in the Wilshire Grand Center, the tallest skyscraper in LA. Floors 31-68 contain guest rooms. You’ll check in on the gorgeous 70th floor Sky Lobby, stepping out from the hi-tech elevator system into a wraparound view of the city on all sides. It’s breathtaking, which is not a word I use often—or really at all—but this qualifies.

#LAElevated

Connect with the Intercontinental LA on social. Follow them on Twitter @InterConLA, Instagram @intercontinentaldtla, and Facebook at /InterContinentalLosAngelesDowntown. Use the hashtag #LAElevated on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Other popular hashtags for the neighborhood include #DTLA, #DTLAEats, DTLAEvents, and many more you can connect with your interests and activities. Don’t forget to geolocate your posts so the hotel and area businesses can connect with you if you want them to know you’re in the neighborhood.

Eating at the Intercontinental

You can, in fact, eat extra well. Sora, on the 69th floor, is a sushi spot featuring cozy booths for two. Grab your sushi off the conveyor belt, including daily lunchtime all-you-can-eat specials. The Dekkadence, a casual dining space described as a “farm-to-fork international market experience” with live cooking and carving stations.

Dekkadance, also on the 69th floor, features three glorious buffets daily, with options to fit any diet. It’s so good, and it’s another spot for lovely views with your meal. La Boucherie, a French-inspired steakhouse, is on the 71st floor. Spire 73 is the rooftop bar, the tallest open-air bar in the Western Hemisphere.

You will be full, and happy, and your Instagram will be on fire. Win.

Need Anything? It’s in the Neighborhood

The hotel sits at the corner of 7th and Figueroa in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Walk out of the hotel, turn right, and you’re at Figat7th, a shopping and dining center featuring a number of popular retailers and restaurants. Walk a few blocks southeast on 7th, and you’ll find stores like Macy’s, Uniqlo and H&M, and an array of other shops and restaurants. Shopping, dining and entertainment center LA Live is just about half a mile away.
